The Measurement of the Iear.

The length Of the year is strictly 363
days ) hours IS minutes 49 seconds and
seven-teDths OF q second-the time re-
quired tor the revolution OF the earth
round tne sun. About - B. c., Julius
Caesar, by the help Of Sosigines, IN Al
cxandrian philosopher, came to tolera-
bly, clear understanding of the length Of
a year, apd decreed that every fourth
year should be held to consist of 500
days for tie purpose Of absorbing the
odd hours. By TINS rather clumsy ar
rsngement the natural time fell behind
the reckoning, as, in reality, 4 day every
fourth year IS too much by II minutes
10 seconds and tlrec-tenths of second;
so it inevitably followed that the begin
ming o: the year moved onward ahead Of
the point 1t which it was in the lsys Of
Caesar. from the time Of the Council
OF Nice, in 3Z5 y d.. when the vernal
equinox fell correctly on the 2lst Of
March, Pope Gregory found, ii l3S2
i. D., that there had been al oycr-recK-
oning TO the extent CT 10 days, and that
TIC veSil;;l equinox fell on the lth Of
March. 10 correct the past error, ne
0ecrec,l that the 9th OF October OF that
vear should bc reckoncI us the 18th,

the Grcgorian style was readily adopted,
il was not so III Protestant nations. In
Britain it WIS not adopted until 1852, by
which time the discrepancy between the
Julian and Gresorian periods amounted
to II days. An act OF Parliament was
passed debating that the Sd OF Septem.
ber ti!at year should be reckoAed the
l4th. and that three Of every four cen
tcnnial years should be leap years. 1900
not being = leap year, the new and old
STYLES now differ y days, our 1st of
January being equivalent to the 18th
old style. In Russia alone of Christian
countries is the old style retained. The
old style is still retained i'll the Treasury
accounts OF Great Britain. In Old times
the year was held TO begin on tie 10Th
Of March, and this usage, OF piece OF
antiquity, is also still observed in the
computations of the Chancellor Of the
British Exchequer. So the first day Of
the financial year is the 9TH O: AprI,
being ''Old Lady Day.''-Boston Jour

Rain and the Forests.

Among the popular errors Ill meteor
ology mentioned by Professor Able on
Friday evening at the Franklin Institute
lecture is the common belief that the
destruction OF forests reduces the amount
o. the rainfall II this he directly con-
tributes the testimony Of the Forestry
Association. The Professor stated that
a very slight elevation of the surface
ABOVE the sea level by cosmic changes
was the probable cause Of any changes
which hal occurred. He did not refer
to the modification or the distribution
over the years of rainfall, but merely to
its total amount. In this connection it
may be noted that the census OF the
United States III the volume on Social
Statistics prints diagram of tie amount
of rainfall in Philadelphia for the past
100 years, as kept at the PENNSYLVANIA
Hospital, which shows gradual, but
general, increase in the annual precipita-
ton, although ii will be generally
acknowledged tha: there has been a
great destruction OF timber for hundreds
OF miles about the city il that time

Senator Daniel, OF Virginia, is AZ
orator OF the old Virginia style, intro
duccd by Patrick Henry and transmitted
down through succeeding generations.
\ specimen Of this histrionic clocution
WAS the opening paragraph OF a speech
by Mr.. Daniel at Petersburg during a
recent political campaign: Fellow
citizens OF the old Commonwealth Of
Virginia: | come tc you from the fair
domain OF the mother of statesmen and
Presidents. come from the valley Of
the Shenandoah, the daughter Of the
stars. There the riyer flows, whispering
to its grassy hanks the name OF Lee,
Ice, Lee. The rivlllets, flowing down
the mountain side to Join the river
sweeping to the sea, whisper the name
of Lee, Lee, Lee. And the northern
plains, scared by the fierce feet of the
god of war, look up the blue, ove,arch-
ing canopy OF heaven, and call to it
softly the name OF Lee, Lee, Lee! l

Recognition Of Elect Faulkner

Indepartment circles, Senator-elect Faux
ner, Of West Virginin, is recognized as Sen
ator Kenna's colleague, and his appeals for
patronage are listened to, even if they are
not always granted. A prominent treasury
official, in referring to this subject to-day,
said the matter had been the topic Of con-
ycrsation between several Of the bureau Of
fcers, and under the circumstances they
feel bound TO receive Mr.. Faulkner as the
junior Senator from West Virginia. Said
the official referred to "He comes around
on the lookout for patronage with the regu-
larity OF an old hand at that business, and
BY the time his case comes up before the
Senate for consideration his record as an
oiice-hunter will stand pretty high. Up to
date he has not been able to get much, but
has bright hopes for the future - flushing
